no, no, no. Try to love the music for the music itself. Programme music is so
Music is the art of transformation. It's math that pleases the ears and the
soul. The story it presents is entirely subjective from individual to
individual.

I thought so. Perhaps just Elgar, Handel, Johann Christian Bach, Haydn and a
few others who actually went to England are appreciated, which is a shame.
Perhaps the British should come out of their hobbit-holes more often and see
what a big world full of wonders it is out there...

Oh, sure, because *one* person who lives in Britain doesn't like
classical music all that much, the whole country must be like that. ;-)

Yes, but then you assume that the watermarking is done on the bit-level.
What if they change the music somewhat in a way that will survive format
conversion ? (E.g. tiny changes in volume levels within a frequency
band, small phase shifts, changes in the dynamic range, added noise or
a combination of some of these.)
There will only have to be minor changes to the sound, as they will only
have to encode something like e.g. 30 bits into more than 100s of sound
in 2 channels.

three main streams
- progressive/symphonic rock and related (Ayreon, Yes, Rush, Fish,
Within Temptation, Vangelis ...)
- Folk and related (Mary Black, Meav, Loreena McKennitt, Janis Ian, Eric
Bogle, Fairport Convention, Christy Moore, Mary Coughlan...)
- Classical and opera (Wagner, Bach, Beethoven, Purcell, Mahler, Haydn...)
alongside these
- a small section of pop-like (Bowie, Dire Straights, Joy division, Kate
Bush...)
- a collection of somewhat rarer music a.o. Hildegard von Bingen,
family, and things picked up on holidays.
I recently bought Paris Moon by Blackmore's Night (yes, the guy from
deep purple). I do like it but am not sure what category that would be.
